Part 16 - No Knock, No Doorbell
THE SLEEPER HAS AWAKENED! With the return of Cooper to the world of Twin Peaks, we gotta wonder: what does it say about this show that his reemergence isn't the most startling aspect of the part in which it occurs? Revelations about Diane and Audrey mean that some very long dormant pieces are moving into place for a finale of epic proportions...

Part 15 - There's Some Fear In Letting Go

Part 15 - "There's some fear in letting go."
**FAIR WARNING: The language in this week's Part was foul at times, and we repeated some of that language in this episode.**
In this week's installment we say a touching goodbye to an old friend as The Return ramps up towards its final hours. As it starts to seem less and less likely that many of these storylines will see any kind of resolution, the plot begins to focus in on Twin Peaks and the plots that seem to be converging on the town and its residents.
Notes: John Bernardy's excellent and most recent analysis of The Wizard of Oz connections can be found here.

Part 14 - We Are Like the Dreamer
The intensity of the Twin Peaks experience ramps up this week with a powerful installment that takes us down paths alongside the broader mythology and lore that has always been the underpinning both Twin Peaks the show and Twin Peaks the town. We visit the woods, travel in dreams, and go bar hopping with Sarah Palmer. Join us at the nuthouse!

Part 13 - What Story Is That Charlie?

Part 13 - "What story is that, Charlie?"
With so many avenues left open to explore, Part 13 chooses to dwell in the lives of our favourite Twin Peaks residents as they circumnavigate the worlds in which they reside. Sarah seems stuck in a loop; similarly, Big Ed, Norma, and James circle back to their starting positions, as if the last twenty five years hadn't changed a thing. Meanwhile, Audrey remains trapped...where? And DougieCoop's amazing ability to avoid danger proves useful once again. It's a jam-packed Part, and so it's a jam-packed episode of Bickering Peaks!

Big Ed Reflection
WE WERE WRONG! Both Big Ed and Nadine are wearing rings. I guess we both need new glasses...

Part 12 - "Let's Rock"
A divisive installment of our favourite TV show--Jerry leaves the forest, Sarah panics at the grocery store, Audrey appears...and everyone seems content to talk about other people: people off-camera, people who haven't entered the room yet, people we've never even met! Join us for our discussion about Part 12 of The Return; we've got dreams and augmented reality and father/son dynamics and multiple languages and Blue Roses galore!
Notes:
If you aren't doing so already, you should be reading Joel Bocko's takes on The Return, published (usually) within an hour of each airing. We don't know how he does it, but his are often the only articles we read prior to recording. He's always seriously on point...probably because he speaks Lynch so fluently! Definitely check it out! Here's a link to his Part 12 essay, which quotes Joanna Robinson and which we talked about in our discussion
